"The tugboat, for its size, is the most powerful craft afloat" - Captain Star, Tugs.

[@GEOsustainable]

This most certainly was NOT about life inside a tugboat. They barely showed the inside.

[@troygreen9321]

Great info never thought about tow-backs before

[@Revolver1701]

My nephew made his first trip as a member of a tugboat crew and was in New York Harbor on 09/11/2001.

1900 rpm or horsepower?

[@wanderingspider8988]

HP. The RPM can be well over 10,000 RPM depending on the tug.

[@nwmi493]

the pushback operator has more a relaxed gangster lean than an american dad bod on the recliner during monday night football !

[@johnrogers9481]

I noticed that. It looks that there is no back on that seat. Keep the man awake and alert eh!

[@UQRXD]

Steer the back, you mean stern.

[@jb5music]

[@mikesmith-qw5qh]

2 GENERATIONS OF MY FAMILY, MY GRANDFATHER AND MY DAD WERE TUGBOAT SKIPPERS IN NY HARBOR AND THE NORTH ATLANTIC I CANT WORK IN THE BUSINESS BECAUSE I AM HANDICAPPED AND CANT GET A LICENSE TO WORK ON BOATS

[@annoyingbstard9407]

[@judefernandez827]

Why is there a tug at the stern with the line looking slack in a lot of KZbin videos

[@riciigold]

[@mojoden]

"Miritus"?? "PREformance" ?????????? Good grief.

[@johnrogers9481]

Dude, we often say the word "off-ten" and the T is silent!! In fact, the T is always silent! Similarly the words listen, fasten and hasten all have a SILENT T.!! LISS-TEN UP!
